Les Blues could only draw 0-0 against Uruguay in Cape Town on Friday night as Domenech's side lacked creativity and produced only one dangerous goalscoring chance.

The outgoing coach - who is almost certainly to be replaced by Bordeaux's Laurent Blanc after the tournament - kept Thierry Henry and Florent Malouda on the bench and only introduced them late on in like-for-like changes.

"What would I change for the next game? Score a goal!" Evra said.

"We will keep going, create a lot of chances and be strong like we were in the first match, because I don't think Uruguay caused a lot of problems for us.

"We need to create more chances to score goals. Now, against Mexico, we need to win and we'll see after that in the match against South Africa (what we need)."
